TOY HANDKERCHIEF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,034, dated.September 7, 1880.

Application filed June 2, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. Ho'rca- KISS, of Bridgeport, in thecounty of Fairlield and State of Connecticut, have inventeda certainnew'and Improved Toy Handkerchief, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of my invention is to produce a handkerchief-toy which may beapplied to the nose to cover the same, and an attached sound- IOproducing device, operated simultaneously, preferably by the mouth, tosimulate the noise produced by blowing the nose, thereby affording greatamusement to juveniles.

To this end my invention consists in the combination, with a toyhandkerchief or fabric representing or similar to a handkerchief, of asound-producin g device attached thereto and capable of being operatedwhile the handkerchief or fabric is applied to cover the nose.

It also consists in. the combination, with a toy handkerchief or fabricrepresenting or similar to a handkerchief, of a wind-soundprorlucingdevice attached thereto and capable of being operated by the month whilethe handkerchief is applied to cover the nose. A pocket may be formed onthe back of the handkerchief or fabric to receive the soundproducingdevice and attach it to the hand kerchief or fabric.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is apcrspective view of ahandkerchief and attached sound-producing device, the handkerchief beingfolded inside out; and Fig. 2 is a transverse section of thehandkerchief and longitudinal section of the souml-producing device.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in bothfigures.

A designates a handkerchief or fabric rep- 0 resenting or similar in itsgeneral appearance to a handkerchief. It may be made of linen, cotton,or other textile material, and ornamented with a border, according tothe taste of the manufacturer.

5 B designates a sound producing device,

which may be of any suitable kind, and is attached to the handkerchiefor fabric A. I have shown it as a \vind-sound-producing device,consisting of a trumpet-shaped piece with a mouthpiece, a, at one endand a reed orlike 5o device, I), at the other. It may be attached invarious ways to the handkerchief or fabric A.

A simple way is to form a pocket, 0, on the back of a handkerchief orfabric by stitching a piece of fabric around the sides and one endthereto, leaving the opposite end open, so that the mouthpiece of thesouml-producing device can protrude through it.

I desire it. to be distinctly understood that I do not confine myself tothe particular kind of soundproducing device, or even to anywind-soundproducing device. Neither do I confine myselfto any particularway of attaching the same to the hamlkerchief, or to attaching it inclose contact with the handkerchief.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-' l. The comb nation, with a toy handkerchief or fabric representingor similar to a handkerchief, of a sound-producing device attachedthereto and capable of being operated while the handkerchief or fabricis applied to cover the nose.

2. The combination, with a toy handkerchief or fabric representing 01"similar to a harulkerchief, of a wimlsound-producing de vice attachedthereto and capable of being operated by the month while thehandkerchief is applied to cover the nose.

3. The combination, with a toy handker- 8o chief or fabric representingor similar to a handkerchief, of a sound-producing device and a pocketadapted to receive and hold the sound-producing device, substantially asand for the purpose specified.
